Past Portfolio Reviews & Hints

Have you checked out our new list of Portfolio Reviews in 2017? Thinking about participating in one of them? Then take a moment to check out these resources.

In case you are have not found the PF Review you were looking for, maybe it has ceased to exist. Double-check with our archived list of PF Reviews (since 2011) and if you think that we have missed our something, let us know (via a comment to this post)! Thank you!

Useful Hints:

Why do double work? There are some quite good documents online giving useful hints on how to prepare yourself and your work for the reviews, what to do and what to avoid. The best and most extensive one I found is the Photolucida Review Festival How-to Guidebook (116KB PDF) filled with great information on how to make the most of portfolio reviews.

The Columbia College Chicago has a whole set of Quick Guides, one of them on Portfolio Reviews, where they even tell you how to dress and how to greet. Maybe a bit over-explicit, but usefull for newbies, I guess.

Many of the above-listed Reviews also give more special tips for their specific venue, on the correspondent web page…

Archived Information on Portfolio Reviews

This is a list of the most important Photography Portfolio Reviews. It was started in 2011. Please visit the information on 2011-2014, as, some of the events are biennial, or do not have information on the 2015 editions yet online. So you may want to check the information in the backup section and extrapolate the new dates and prices….

The Reviews are ordered by date of the event, not the deadline for submission. Some reviews accept submissions until a few days before the event (such as Lodz), others close the call many months before (such as Houston Foto Fest), so please have a close look at that.

The reviews can be very different as for the number of participants, the profiles of the reviewers, the fee and how many reviews you get for it. This last criterion is reflected by the Price/Review Ratio, calculated in Euros, at the current exchange rates.

Generally speaking, Portfolio Reviews in the US are by far more expensive than in Europe and the rest of the world. The reason for this seems to be that they are more established and valued as an important career step there, thus American photographers are willing to pay the price. They might also be more “successful” because American photography professionals come to these reviews explicitly in order to find new talents, to exhibit, publish or even buy works.

Other criteria, which might influence your choice are whether you, the photographer, can choose the reviewers beforehand (unfortunately, this is not always clear from the presentation texts), if there are other perks, such as prizes for the best portfolio, and the total number of other participants.

Please leave a comment if you know of a Review that is not mentioned, find a mistake or simply like the article.

P.S.: The next Photomonth Portfolio Review will take place in East London on 29 &
30 October 2011. As soon as I get more data from the organizers, I will add this information to the listing. meanwhile, please consult their website http://www.photomonth.org

Can you tell me more? Have you had experience with Powerhouse? I’m thinking of going, but for the investment of money and travel time, I’m trying to find someone who’s gone and has some insight to share.

we are collecting submissions to start with the reviews.
It’s cheaper than other, especially because you don’t have to move from home, flexible and effective.
Reviews are done by Enrico Bossan (www.enricobossan.com) through e-photoreview.com, a blog about interviews with photographers.

We’re very pleased to announce that Lens Culture has teamed up with Fotografiska,
(The Swedish Museum of Photography), to host the first large-scale professional
Portfolio Reviews in Stockholm on May 27-28, 2011.

Over the course of two days, 100 photographers will engage in one-on-one meetings and portfolio reviews with 35 international photography experts, including museum curators, gallery owners, festival directors, magazine editors, photobook publishers and representatives from photo agencies. These meetings offer photographers tremendous opportunities for career development, including potential editorial assignments, book publication contracts, art gallery representation, participation in international exhibitions, feature articles in magazines, as well as extensive business networking.

The event is limited to 100 photographers, so we urge serious, mid-career photographers to register now.

We believe that formal portfolio reviews like this are among the most proactive and efficient ways for serious, career-oriented photographers to meet many international photography experts and colleagues in a professional atmosphere. Photographers connect directly with people who can help them with artistic and business goals. It’s great for the reviewers too – they discover new talent, as well as the latest work of photographers who are already established.

The Fotofestival supports the organization of this exhibition with a production grant of €500 for each of the three artists. In addition, myphotobook.de provides the first favorite with a €1,000 gift certificate toward the production of photo books!
Ten additional positions from the selection of favorites will be presented in the virtual gallery of our festival website (Virtual gallery of the 3rd Fotofestival).
